哈密瓜枯萎病病原菌初步研究

对哈密瓜枯萎病病株分离得到的病原菌进行柯赫氏法则验证,得出其病原菌为尖镰孢菌甜瓜专化型（Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.melonis）。对其孢子的萌发、菌丝的生长和产孢量进行初步研究,发现该病原菌整个生理过程中的最适温度为29～31℃,最适pH值为5．6～6．8之间,光照对其影响不大。

三株拮抗细菌的鉴定及抑菌作用研究

为了充分发掘和利用有益微生物资源,本文以草莓根腐尖孢镰刀菌Fusariumoxysporum为靶标菌,从草莓根际土壤中分离筛选得到3株拮抗细菌,通过培养性状与形态特征、生理生化特征以及16SrDNA同源序列比对分析进行了鉴定,菌株1-9和9—4为多粘类芽孢杆菌Paenibacilluspolymyxa、菌株12—4为枯草芽孢杆菌Bacillussubtilis。这3株细菌对草莓根腐尖孢镰刀菌的抑菌作用进行了初步的研究,结果表明,3株拮抗细菌对草莓根腐尖孢镰刀菌的生长有很好的抑制作用,镜下观察对菌丝有致畸作用,其培养滤液还能够抑制草莓根腐病尖孢镰刀菌分生孢子的产生与萌发。     

烟草镰刀菌根腐病病菌致病粗毒素的研究

本试验测定了经尖孢镰刀菌（Fusarium oxysporum）和茄病镰刀菌（F.solani）粗毒素浸泡后烟草幼苗抗病相关酶系的活性及细胞膜透性的变化,以研究毒素对烟草的致病作用。结果表明,引起烟草根腐病的尖孢镰刀菌和茄病镰刀菌的毒素属于非寄主专化性毒素（NHST）。烟草幼苗经毒素处理12～60 h,其过氧化物酶（peroxidase, POD）和多酚氧化酶（polyphenol oxidase, PPO）的活性都迅速升高,随后下降,幼苗出现不同程度的萎蔫。50%的毒素液处理幼苗根部54 h后,根部细胞膜的损伤率比对照均增加了80%,叶片的细胞膜损伤率比对照增加了90%。另外毒素处理能抑制烟草种子胚根的生长,使幼苗萎蔫,与病原菌直接接种表现相同,说明毒素是病原菌侵染烟草导致发病的一个重要因子。     

Susceptibility of larvae and adults of Monochamus galloprovincialis to entomopathogenic fungi under controlled conditions

Six entomopathogenic fungal isolates were tested under controlled conditions, as biological control agents against Monochamus galloprovincialis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (Olivier), the vector of the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) (Steiner and Buhrer). The fungi Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin, Metarhizium sp. and Fusarium sp. were tested against larvae and adults of the insect, by comparing two exposure techniques: continuous contact and spraying. Regarding the larvae, only Fusarium sp. and Metarhizium sp. killed more than 40% of the individuals, while B. bassiana and M. anisopliae were found to kill 50% of the adults (LT₅₀) within five days. Exposure to B. bassiana reduced adult longevity by 19 days, when compared to untreated beetles, and had a direct efficacy of 46%. Continuous contact with the fungi proved to be more effective than spraying. A larval disinfection protocol was developed to eliminate other fungal isolates from the wood-collected tested individuals. The implications of the results and possible applications of selected strains as bio-control agents against M. galloprovincialis are discussed.     

Induction of host defence enzymes by the endophytic bacterium Serratia marcescens,in banana plantlets

Pre-inoculation with the endobacterium Serratia marcescens (strain UPM39B3) induced the production of host defence enzymes such as peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, total soluble phenols and lignothioglycolic acid in banana plantlets. The levels of these enzymes were evidently higher in plantlets pre-treated with the endobacterium compared to the control. The production of host-induced enzymes benefitted the crop plants as they may have a role in suppressing Fusarium wilt incidence in the plantlets. This was evident when plantlets pre-treated with the endobacterium showed a lower disease severity (50%) compared to diseased plantlets lacking the endobacterium (74%). The results of this study thus highlight the potential of the isolate Serratia marcescens (strain UPM 39B3) as a biological control agent for Fusarium wilt management in bananas, reducing disease severity via stimulation of host defences.     

Fusarium wilt of banana: biology,epidemiology and management

Fusarium oxysporum is a soil borne hyphomycete that causes vascular wilts in several crop plants. A variety of remedial measures such as the use of fungicides, soil amendments and biological antagonists have proved insufficient in controlling F. oxysporum. Ever since it was first reported in banana crop, the only effective control strategy known is planting of resistant cultivars. However, presumably due to the high mutation rates and rapid co-evolution with its host, Fusarium wilt has surmounted host defense barriers and has already begun infecting even the resistant Cavendish varieties that dominate export markets worldwide. Transgenic banana plants showing enhanced resistance to Fusarium wilt have been developed in recent past, but they remain largely confined to the laboratory. The importance of banana as source of food and income in developing countries world over and the need to develop Fusarium wilt tolerant cultivars by novel biotechnological approaches is detailed herein. In this communication, we review the biology and management of Fusarium wilt in banana with the aim of providing the baseline of information to encourage much needed research on integrated management of this destructive banana crop disease problem.     

Integrated management of Meloidogyne incognita‐Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri wilt disease complex in chickpea

A field experiment was conducted to study the management of a root‐knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitw. (Tylenchida: Heteroderidae)‐wilt inducing fungi, Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. emend. Snyd & Hans. f. sp. ciceri (Padwick) Snyd. & Hans. (Moniliales: Tuberculariaceae) wilt disease complex in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). cv. Annegiri. The results indicated that integration of soil solarization (for 6 weeks), VA mycorrhizal fungus (VAM), Glomus fasciculatum inoculation (12g/hill) and seed treatment with carbosulfan (3% w/w) was highly effective in reducing population levels of both pathogens, root‐knotdisease and wilt incidence and in increasing chickpea grain yield significantly. However, seed treatment with carbendazim (0.25% w/w) together with carbosulfan (3% w/w) was not only effective in reducing the wilt disease complex but also economic with an incremental cost: benefit ratio of 1: 2.4.     

不同腐解方式下棉秆腐解液对棉花枯、黄萎病菌的化感效应

采用自然腐解与接种微生物人工腐解两种方式分别处理棉秆,研究了两种腐解物水浸提液对棉花枯、黄萎病菌的化感效应。结果显示,两种腐解液对枯、黄萎病菌的菌丝生长及孢子萌发均具有较强的抑制作用,抑制强度整体上随着腐解液浓度的升高而增大。棉秆自然腐解液对枯、黄萎病菌菌丝生长的最大抑制率分别为58.17%、48.16%,对孢子萌发的最大抑制率分别为23.29%、16.22%,对枯、黄萎病菌毒力的有效中浓度（EC50）分别为33.20、45.20g·L-1;人工腐解液对枯、黄萎病菌菌丝生长的最高抑制率分别为71.63%、79.04%,对孢子萌发的最高抑制率分别为35.45%、42.74%,EC50分别为24.18、20.75g·L-1。表明棉秆腐解后具有作为植物源抑菌剂的开发潜力,并且采用人工方式腐解棉秆能有效提高腐解液对棉花枯、黄萎病菌的抑制强度。     

Influence of Soil Moisture on Root Colonization of Glyphosate‐Treated Soybean by Fusarium Species

Abstract

The widespread use of glyphosate‐resistant (GR) cropping systems may impact rhizosphere microbial associations and crop productivity. It was previously reported that glyphosate accumulation in the rhizosphere may stimulate colonization of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] roots by soilborne Fusarium. Field studies often reveal inconsistent root colonization by Fusarium, especially during growing seasons characterized by contrasting rainfall patterns. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the impact of different soil moisture contents on root colonization of glyphosate‐treated soybean by Fusarium species. Glyphosate (0.84 kg ae ha^?1) was applied to greenhouse‐grown glyphosate‐resistant (GR) soybean at the two to three trifoliate-leaf (V2–V3) growth stage growing in a Mexico silt loam at 27%, 13%, and 10% soil moisture contents. Soil and plant samples were sampled periodically after herbicide application and selectively cultured for Fusarium. Highest Fusarium colonization was associated with the glyphosate treatment, with maximum levels occurring at the highest soil moisture level. Thus, glyphosate interactions with root colonization by Fusarium in glyphosate‐resistant soybean are greatly influenced by soil moisture content.
